If they pitch it midway between the RX1Rii and the Leica Q then it will be £3K. If it is then they could very likely dominate the "Hang on...you want HOW much for a fixed lens camera?!?!?!?" sector of the market quite quickly.

Integration into Instagram with voice to text to do the caption right off the camera is all within reach if they open it up as well. I'd like to see them use the usb-c port for an add on cellular module as well to take the phone out of the equation as well with an always on connection. Seems ridiculous having to tether to your main phone when it can do it itself. I bought an Android based voice driven language translator which has a world data sim in it that costs £50 a year and this could use exactly the same sort of thing.

I do find it amusing as well that after weeks of debate about how many card slots a camera should have, they've gone "Tell you what, how about none."

The Lightroom aspect is intriguing because it's obviously a massive hint that its Android and that might mean some interesting 3rd party apps. Very interested in following how this develops.

It's interesting that it has that angled grip like the Sigma DP Quattros. I noticed it got the usual losing their shit reaction from commenters on DPReview who'd never buy it anyway. Which is fast becoming my barometer of what might be interesting to take a look at. Except that Zenith branded M. I'm with them on that one.

I didn't catch what the camera was he was demoing footage of but it was very nice wide open aperture shots of cats. He should patent that style as Shallow Depth Of Feline.

Hang on...I have remembered something that I saw that caught my eye. Phil Bloom has a very fetching wooden case for his Macbook. Here he is calmly dealing with some bark/sap related issue that caused the audio from it not to work in his very well attended live demo.

In non hot dog related Photokina news.... I had a look at the Laowa cine lens and it looks quite promising. You'd have to waterboard them to get the price out of them though so it may prove to be more expensive than people might imagine. Erm.... Yeah, I should probably work on my show report game a bit more as I can't remember anything else that really caught my eye.

Just got an "Exciting News About The Pocket 4K.......But Not For You" email off CVP.

I have had zero from them. Then again I do moan my tits off at them every time I buy something

I have also arrived and will be available for ongoing hot dog updates as long as I get on the right train to the show. Otherwise you can expect updates about Cologne cathedral. And hot dogs within it's immediate vicinity.

Who was that with?

Panasonic announcing a full frame camera on Sept. 25???

Being a complete cheapskate, at more than £3K saving per lens against the current Leica offerings for the SL then I can live with the compromises though -
I took a hacksaw to an ef-s lens that I got cheap to fit on a speedbooster. The performance of the lens was so crap though that I might as well have sawn both ends off it.

How much are the hot dogs?

As you say, disregarding the wind noise, I was quite surprised how good it was when he was reading the names out. I'd be interested to in how much you could get away with in a pinch if it had a set of the Rycote Micro Windjammers attached.

Funny you should say that because are actually being taken to Photokina on Thursday afternoon and can be evaluated at the official EOSHD press event. Well, when I say official press event, I actually mean wherever on the show floor I end up bumping into @Andrew Reid -

Can't believe they didn't announce the fourth member of this new alliance that is making compatible products for Panasonic and Leica cameras -
You might want to consider using a viewfinder app for your phone like the Cadrage one. It simulates the FOV you will get from all different formats and lenses so you can quickly get a preview of what you are going to get before you set all your real gear up. It works with the common wide angle adapters on the phone as well to simulate much wider lenses. It might be useful in your situation as well @kye as I know you like to keep stealthy so would delay the moment at which you get your real camera out of the bag in the situation you described above https://www.cadrage.at

You mean convertible as in the mount swap service Sigma currently offer or an adapter? Novoflex do an EF to L mount adapter already but its quite expensice so I'm hoping the first thing that comes out of this relationship is Sigma releasing is an L version of their MC-11 adapter.
